Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Who should clean after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the dust storm last week, I noticed a thick layer of grit on all the surfaces in my living room, even though I haven't cleaned there since before the storm. The AC filters are also extremely dirty. Given that this is a rental, whose responsibility should it be to clean up and maintain the air quality during such events?

Dust storms can certainly be a nuisance, especially when they leave behind a thick layer of grit. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, these events are not uncommon and can have significant impacts on indoor air quality. Given that you're renting your place, it's crucial to understand who should bear the responsibility for cleaning up after such an event.

According to local laws and real estate agreements, property owners or landlords typically have the obligation to maintain the rental property in a clean and habitable condition. This includes ensuring proper functioning of air conditioning systems and addressing any issues caused by external factors like dust storms. However, if you're noticing that your AC filters are extremely dirty after such an event, it might be prudent for you to contact your landlord or property management as soon as possible.

It's also advisable to request a professional inspection from time to time, especially in areas prone to frequent dust storms. This can help identify any potential issues with the HVAC system and ensure that it is functioning properly to maintain air quality during such events. A quick call to 800-MOLDS or an email to hello@saniservice.com could be a good step if you suspect there are underlying problems.

For immediate relief, focus on cleaning your living space. Use microfiber cloths and damp cloths to wipe surfaces gently as the fibers in these cloths trap dust better than cotton ones. For deeper cleanings, consider using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner which can effectively capture fine particles that regular vacuums might miss.

Remember, while you're responsible for cleaning your personal space after a storm, it's important to communicate with your landlord about any recurring issues or concerns regarding the property maintenance. This proactive approach ensures both your health and comfort are protected during such challenging weather conditions.

Taking these steps can help ensure that your living environment remains clean and healthy despite dust storms.
